(CNSNews.com) - In his dissent from the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which declared that same-sex marriage is a right, Justice Samuel Alito said the court had falsely likened opposition to same-sex marriage to racism and that its decision “will be used to vilify Americans unwilling to assent to the new orthodoxy.”

Alito warned that in the wake of the court’s ruling, Americans who dare to publicly express views in favor the traditional understanding that marriage is between a man and a woman will risk recrimination.

“I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools,” Alito wrote.

“By imposing its own views on the entire country,” he said, “the majority facilitates the marginalization of the many Americans who have traditional ideas.”

Here is a key excerpt from Alito’s dissent:

Alito has been well worth the dustup over Harriet Miers.

Fight or submit.

Those are your choices.

“Americans who dare to publicly express views in favor the traditional understanding that marriage is between a man and a woman will risk recrimination.”

The gaystapo will not be satisfied until everyone is forced to publicly celebrate their perversion or be fined and jailed.

I'm afraid it will be much worse.

Let us also be prepared to give witness to our Faith even unto martyrdom if necessary by an increased fidelity to our daily duties of state, strongly convinced that, "There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved—and there is salvation in no one else." (Acts 4:14)

The state is supposed to worry about what we think of them, not what they think of us.

So endeth the lesson.

[Hugh the Scot]

Or, per your tagline, do both!

Everybody has the right to be a bigot. That’ what Americans have forgotten.say no to the notion of thought crimes. Maybe Christians will wake up. Maybe.

[Uncle Miltie]

It’s been here awhile already. Haven’t you noticed?

[LongWayHome]

Excellent.

[Steely Tom]

The gaystapo will not be satisfied until everyone is forced to publicly celebrate their perversion or be fined and jailed.

They are going to take young children away from those who try to raise them in the Christian faith.

The children will be given over to gay couples.

A combination of judicial and administrative fiat will be used to accomplish this.

The planning has been underway for some time.

[Pelham]

Pretty much.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep!

[Taxman]

I now know how the Jews felt in pre-WW II Germany!

Or those before the purge in Stalinist Russia.

I want an airworthiness certificate for my boat. Anyone who says that it is not applicable is a bigot.
